A large evaluation, comprising 54 trenches, was undertaken on behalf of the Environment Agency and Halcrow Group Ltd, in advance of a proposed Flood Alleviation Scheme in the Colne valley to the northwest of Halstead. An assemblage of Mesolithic and Neolithic flints were recovered, and probable prehistoric gullies/ditches were recorded. Post-medieval field boundaries and water-management features were also recorded.
